How did anything happen before Global Warming? Genesis will have to be rewritten. Here goes: In the beginning there was Global Warming. Then God said: "Let there be Socialism." Then there was Socialism, and it was good.

Ok I can't have too much fun without providing the link. Here it is courtesy of CBS news. The warmist is Dr. Tom Chalko, whom I thank for today's deep belly laughs.

The interesting part is that I don't necessarily dispute that there might be uptick in geologic activity lately. Connecting this to the Theory of Global Warming however is more than absurd.

update: not much of an update since this is a couple of years old already, but still funny. I honestly haven't heard of it until yesterday. Watts Up With That has a great article about it.

Here are some cool pics of the Volcano in Iceland. Boy. When Nature "pollutes" she doesn't mess around.

That's an old report but interesting...a little backstory here from the time.http://wattsupwiththat.com/2008/06/19/cbs-news-sinks-to-new-low-publishes-crackpot-global-warming-story-attributes-it-to-associated-press/#more-1444

It sounded crazy to me at first, but the guy does refer to observable scientific stuff. What's so implausible about this?:

"NASA measurements from space confirm that Earth as a whole absorbs at least 0.85 Megawatt per square kilometer more energy from the Sun than it is able to radiate back to space. This 'thermal imbalance' means that heat generated in the planetary interior cannot escape and that the planetary interior must overheat. Increase in seismic, tectonic and volcanic activities is an unavoidable consequence of the observed thermal imbalance of the planet," said Dr. Chalko.

I'm astounded anon1152. Read some geology. 0.5 degrees or 30 degrees wont do anything to the interior of the earth at all. Earthquakes and volcanoes take no input from the atmosphere at all.

Now I enough about radiation to get by but I do know that Nasa's claims about satilite readings have been dispute and yes they have had to retract those claims. I can't keep track of it all, so try this http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/12/26/satellite-measurements-prove-our-quiet-sun-is-cooling-the-upper-thermosphere/

Actually I just looked up the global average temperature gradient. Its 2.6 degrees per 100 meters. Local variations can differ wildly due to thermal conductivity of the formation. So anyway, I've had measurements taken that were 200 degrees at approximately 2000 meters in any weather.
